A perception system, comprising a set of reference sensors; a set of test sensors and a computing device, which is configured for receiving first training signals from the set of reference sensors and receiving second training signals from the set of test sensors, the set of reference sensors and the set of test sensors simultaneously exposed to a common scene; processing the first training signals to obtain reference images containing reference depth information associated with the scene; and using the second training signals and the reference images to train a neural network for transforming subsequent test signals from the set of test sensors into test images containing inferred depth information.
